Abstract
Sulphur has been used in medicine both in Ayurvedic and
Unani systems since early times. The Sanskrit works mention
four varieties of sulphur red, yellow, white and black, each
having different therapeutic value. Sulphur has also been
used in considerable quantities for the manufacture of gunpowder
and in fire-works.
